Right now may be one of the loudest times in UFC history when it comes to social media. The trash talk is reaching its threshold, we hear call outs everywhere, and fighters that should keep their mouths shut just seem to be unable to. Disclaimer: We will not be including Conor McGregor because let’s face it, that one speaks for itself. Today we look at the top 3 UFC fighters that need to shut up on social media.
3. JOSE ALDO
Jose Aldo got smashed in record time by now featherweight champion Conor McGregor. You would think that would shut him up on Twitter, but nope. Despite the embarrassing loss to the Irishman he continues to call him out, make fun of him, and just generally harass him in a desperate cry for attention. Aldo had a field day when a natural 145 pound McGregor lost to a big welterweight in Nate Diaz and we weren’t the only ones rolling our eyes. Aldo is a sore loser and has no ground to stand on when it comes to making fun of other people. Remember that humiliating KO you got from Conor? We do. Shut up.
2. JON JONES
This is a guy who ran from a car accident involving a pregnant lady. A man who got popped for cocaine, went in for outpatient rehab, and then proclaimed himself cured. He has made fun of current light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier for being fat, fake, and any other slam he can slide in there. He has no legs to stand on and given his shady recent past should say nothing, but positive things about others. So, hey Jon Jones. Shut up.
1. CRIS CYBORG
This one is a no brainer. Not since Tito Ortiz has there been a fighter scrambling so hard to remain relevant. Cris Cyborg became famous when she beat Gina Carano in Strikeforce. Then she became infamous when suspicions of banned substance use were proven to be true. Now, Cyborg has been relentlessly taunting Ronda Rousey to goad her in to a fight and it’s getting really, really, really old. Cris even makes outlandish claims that Ronda fights at 135 pounds because the former bantamweight champion is afraid of her. When Rousey lost her title to Holly Holm, Cris lost her mind. Ever since then it has been non-stop yammering and it’s so bad some of us have muted her on social media. Look, we get it, you need money and Ronda is big money. You beat Leslie Smith via questionable stoppage at a catchweight because you can’t effectively make Ronda’s weight class. So, hey……shut up.
